the world that is
now you understand my pain
my pain
Seriously Bale. When does Hellian die? Tell me.
I dunno, I think it functions pretty well on its own. You have to read the preface, yeah, but that's really part of the story. I didn't really read anything by the author that wasn't in the book, and I still enjoyed it. Then again, I liked Hatchet.
So hey man. Why are your eyes watering? You got allergies?
Uhh yes. Yes allergies.
Currently reading this because why the hell would you not.
Tossin that out there.
Carried it around the book store for like 1/2 hour, then I realized:
Pride and Prejudice is terrible.
weren't you also the one reading Hyperion at work?
I don't think BKV was involved. I mean, I didn't notice his name in the creator list, and I think I would've.
Ayup. Guess which story.
I felt this way, too!
I truly like Pride and Prejudice, however. Emma is my favourite, and it took me a long time to really get into Austen at all, but I have absolutely no issue with Pride and Prejudice by itself. P&P&Z did add some balls jokes, as I said before, and that was alright by me because my inner eight-year-old is amused by them. Otherwise it was entirely unimpressive.
Also, I never read any Escapist comic book; where'd you get it? And I'll just continue to be the sole individual who enjoyed the second half of Kavalier and Clay... I'm okay with that. (No I'm not.)
"Sandra has a good solid anti-murderer vibe. My skin felt very secure and sufficiently attached to my body when I met her. Also my organs." HAIL SATAN
I'm guessing Sol's, but to be perfectly honest all the tales affected me quite a bit.
Awhoops.
Talkin bout this, which is by BKV and its fucking awesome.
Maybe if I write Mr. Vaughan a little letter he will send me a copy.
Or maybe if I hit up every comic book store between Detroit and Chicago while I'm home, I'll stumble across one.

I'll just sit here and admire the copy on my bookshelf
Ive got a book about this guy back home. I didn't know it was a series.
It was lots of little stories about the Escapist done by different authors and artists.
Is this one the same thing?

I think they're doing Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters now
Ooh!
That would be interesting. The one I have is this:
http://www.amazon.com/Michael-Presents-Amazing-Adventures-Escapist/dp/159307171X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1250815164&sr=1-1
It's kinda an interesting expansion on the novel, but I don't really like it for anything else.
That's the one I have. Same-ish thing. You should really read The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay though, the Escapist book is based off of that.
it's officially taken the fall from "here I am a book and here is my plot" to "words arranged page after page to evoke a series of sensations and moods, yet with enough reference to known characters and plot items to maddeningly convince you that you're supposed to be keeping up, come on, stupid, I'm not gonna wait around forever"
Life of Pi is really well-put-together. It's a fun read.
:^:
One day my dad's girlfriend will finish When You Are Engulfed in Flames so I can have at it.
ffffffffff
Hmm, Ill have to check it out.

is what that comic is about
I think that would be all I have to contribute here...
Steam
if you like that you should try reading dhalgren, it does similar things
only there's clearly no plot
really I just want to discuss this book with someone
i liked the second half. i particularly like the scene where Sam looks over Joe's masterpiece.
It is a complete shift tonally, though.
Yeah, that was definitely my problem with it
It's not that I disliked it, it had some great parts, and was definitely put together well overall
It just wasn't the same as the first half of the book, which was a bit jarring at times
And I have no idea where to get the comic, my aunt gave it and the book to me as a gift
I've figured out a formula
with the exception of the first part, any time Rosa isn't directly in contact in Joe the book goes straight downhill
Nope because the ending was shitty and Joe's origin story was the best
i think it was the yiddish policemen's union
also someone recommend light but not trashy fantasy/sci fi because i am too tired for really smart stuff
how raunchy is callahan's crosstime saloon
